Sorry for the delay. I have fixed HtheB's issue, and will build a new package and upload tomorrow.
carepack: I am still looking into the cause of your bug, have not found a cause yet (haven't managed to reproduce yet despite adding contact names like Münøt, but still trying).

taixzo,

thx for commenting and good debuggin! Take you're time :-)

I have uploaded a new build to OpenRepos. This should solve issues if you have no music or contacts on your device.

I have also added the ability to control CuteSpot as well as the default media player. It will control whichever player is open, defaulting to jolla mediaplayer if both or neither are.

Sneak peek of an upcoming feature: ask Saera what song is playing and it will be identified using audio fingerprinting.

Thanks for the update!

Loading contacts takes ages to load :(
And after that, Initializing speech recognition never ends loading :(
Debug doesn't give me any errors...

Edit:
Maybe you should add a 'daemon' so it can run directly without loading once you close the window. (It would be very useful to do quick actions like when it's in the Pulley Menu at the lockscreen)

Hello. Despite searching through the tread I have found no way to change Saeras weather information from fahrenheits to celcius. Is this even possible on Sailfish?

Nice app!

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo5, Harmattan and Sailfish OS
 

Whoops, I just realized that my fix doesn't actually fix the error, as it happens two lines earlier than I thought. I am making a new version that will hopefully finally fix this bug once and for all. :o

I want to do this, although I haven't figured out yet how to make a PyOtherSide app work without the window open. I also would like to add a "listen" button to the bottom of the notifications panel (as it is accessible from everywhere with a single swipe), if I can ever figure out how. (It might be a patchmanager thing. I'm not sure there's an official Jolla api for adding persistent items to that view.)

Speaking of unofficial APIs, I found a hack to get bluetooth headset support working (i.e. you press headset button for Saera to start listening). The hack, though, is that you have to (as root) edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and change the line "HFP=true" to "HFP=false". That makes the button accessible to DBus, although I don't know what other effects it may have. I still have no idea how to talk to headsets in HFP mode.

Settings does not exist yet; this is planned though (including switches for fahrenheit/celcius, miles/kilometers, and settings for power usage vs response time). This should be coming in a future update.

Hey, I saw this on Engadget today and thought it may be of your interest:

Alexa Voice Service Now Available in Developer Preview

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo5, Harmattan and Sailfish OS
 

That means off-board voice recognition, i.e. your voice and data on someone else's computer. No thanks.
